Second Empire style Victorian 21 room mansion is loaded with opulent detail from its original design and construction. The 7,222 sq. ft. building was once home to Governor of Massachusetts Frank Allen. Built in 1873 by tannery owner Francis Winslow, the solid oak beam construction retains in excellence its original features of mansard roofing, tall windows and elaborate decorative elements both inside and out. As you walk through the front door into the grand foyer you can feel the presence of its long list of visiting dignitaries over the decades, from the Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff to Presidents William Taft and Calvin Coolidge. The owners of the property have gone to extraordinary lengths to maintain the home in its original design. Perched on a hill, the home offers panoramic vistas of historical Norwood in the foreground and the Great Blue Hills beyond. This is the perfect home for multi-generational living. The expansive front property can park approximately 12 autos.
